Hello Everyone,
Links below to the 1974 (thought it was a '75) now in my driveway. Things to comment on: Overall beauty (don't look too close); The peach of a trailer (prolly worth more than the boat); The closeups of the deck where it's showing cracks and signs of age (too much Botox?); Game: Guess the location of the hidden cassette player; I'm open to suggestions on seating, and your favorite hatch covers.
She passes the transom test with flying colors: not a pop nor a peep, and I weigh two-hunnert pounds.
Whatta y'all do with the canvas and the canvas frame when you're not using it?
I think I'll have to add a hatch or two in order to either re-seat the loose pedestal or just inspect. Favorite hatch solutions welcome. I've been reading ALL through this site for a week or two now, and remain impressed with the cameraderie, the solid info, the humor (more pranks!), and everyone's willingness to be helpful, 'specially you seniors and gods.

with some work she will be fine!! Mine was also a 75 and it was a great boat for 9 years.
The cracks in the corners of the boxes are normal, I had them also, even after filling them and painting the floor the came back. I think if you grind them out and use resin with shredded cloth (use to be called tiger Hair) it would make for a much better fix. But I sold mine and never tried it.
Also looks like some one did some work on the rear gunnles to make them wider? I like it.

Good Luck
 
Sweet deal on a sweet boat with lots of potential. Do yourself a favor though and take those red reflectors off the stern.:sun::beer:
